Extreme weather calls for extreme measures. This is how many layers I wear to go skiing in Finnish Lapland in -28 (wind chill -37) 🥶 How many do you wear? #finland #lapland #suomi #skiing #winter #winterfashion #wintersport #veryfinnishproblems

Eurovision night is the one evening a year when the rest of the world realises Europe is united by sequins, key changes and an insane sense of fun. If you think Finland can win this thing, comment SUOMI and I will send you a quiz to find out how Finnish you really are. Hyvää Europe, hyvää Suomi, hyvää Linda! 🇫🇮🎻

This is getting to be as predictable as rain on Vappu! 😀 I wanted to know how close I am to peak Finnish happiness after living here over 20 years. So I created a Finnish Happiness Test. I scored 63 😐 If you want to see your score, just write HAPPY in the comments and I’ll send you the link. (Spoiler: I make no apologies for question 3 😉)

Day 1 of 7. Just everyday Finnish winter for my Brit friends and anyone else who doesn’t live in Finland to see what they’re missing. You’ve been warned. 😉👇
